The exercises at Storrs school on Thursday were of full usual interest, tho the attendance was below the usual aver- age; partly because of insufficient notice given, and partly because the New Haven monument dedication which occurred on Frlday--and because of which the Storr's commencement was held one day earlier than the regular fixed day-drew away many of those usually interested. The graduates were voted by the attendants to be fine appearing body of students, above the average in looks and ill evidence of scholarship given in the essays read. They were J. w. Yeomans of Mansfield Center, B. F. Weed of South Norwalk, S. H. Perry of Olark's Falls, W. s. Lee of Hanover, w.. J. Irwin of Middletown, Dexter E. Hall of Meriden. The speakers were ex-Gov. Hyde and ex-Speaker W. E. Simonds, both trustees of the school. Gov. Hyde's address gave the schools his tory, and as matter of local interest is published in another place. All the exercises were interesting, and general feeling prevailed that the school is gaining strength year by year. The unavailing efforts of other towns to capture it show that it is regarded as fixed state institution, calcu- lated to do. good in its way, as we'll as to benefit the locality where it is planted.

Some said it must have been shot from crater of the moon. The largest in the world is in Bra gil, and exceeds thirty tons. There is an other in the Imperial museum at St. Peters burg. of unusual dimensions and one is preserved in Paris.
 RosE OF PARADISE. The rose which grew in paradise had no thorns. ''Thorns and thistles' were unknown on earth till after the fall (Gen. 3:1S). Both St. Am- prose and St. Bosil note that the roses in Eden had no thorns, and Milton says in Eden bloomed Flowers of all hue, and without thorn the rose.
 HIGHLAND MARY-Immortaliz by Rob- ert Burns, is generally thought to be Mary Campbell; but it seems more likely to be Mary Morrison 'one of the poets youthful loves." Probably the songs, HiglaL01ad Moqy, Ma7y MOrriSoaa and To Mc19.y ca HeaUeaa, were all written on one and the same Mary although some think Hi9hland Maqy end Mary S7a HeGOe,s refer to Mary Campbell, who, we are told, was the poets first love.

An old sailing master says A most i'm. portant characteristic of the chart is the attention which is given to the positions of wrecked vessels. After a vessel has been abandoned you know 1t seldom goes directly to the bottom. Almost submerged such 'derelicts," as they have been called, will remain afoat for months. After the masts have disappeared there is seldom anything to indicate to approaching yes. sells that such a dangerous obstruction is in their paths. A collisi on with one oi these waterlogged wrecks would simply mean instant destruction. So the hydro graphic office requests each vessel to notify it of the location of these fderelicts. , Their positions are then given in the monthly chart, and captains can be on the lookout and avoid them. My chart is dot ted with such Instructions.
 I have traced on these maps the course of derelict for months.F One in particu lar I remember. The schooner Twenty one Friends was wrecked just off the Della ware capes last spring, two years ago She drifted out into the gulf stream, was carried clear across to Ireland, and the1 being blown by the wind out of the inhu ence of that ocean current, was carried to- ward the coast of Spain, where it was lost I doubt not but that it formed fire wood for some of the Spaniards along the coast Being lumber laden they must have SC cured prize indeed. There are other in teresting things which might be told about the Photographic chart, but there isnj enough space here.

SOUTH COVENTRY.

Rev. Frank E. Jenkins, late pastor of the Congregational church in this village, who has recently engaged in missionary work among the rugged Cumberlands of Kentucky, writes to the American Mission ary, expressing a desire that church and school be established in every county, and, in the hope of contributing little to such result, gives the following reasons why this should be done
 1st-These counties contain from three to fifteen thousand inhabitants each. In most of there is no day school worthy of the name, no Sundays, no prayer meeting no educated ministry, no churches in which pure religion is taught or systematic work of amy kind is done. The majority of the people are good hearted, and respond readily zto kind words and acts of love. They live mostly in windowless log cabins, and know few of the blessings of 8 chris tian land. Physically, mentally and spir- itually they need teaching and elevating.
 2d-The population is increasing very rapidly Even the high death-rate from poor food, insufficient clothing, wretched ance cannot keep down the increase. These.children can be readily gathered in- to, Sunday and day schools
 3d-Phe attention of the outside world is 1tusning to the wonderful resources of these mountains. It is becoming known that here is the richest, undevelqped part of the us in timber, iron ore and coal. The railroads are pushing their way among the mountains, and immigration will add more and more to the population and vast lly more to. the wealth, suggesting that I sonn4 man of conse crated wealth would as spme the financial part of establishing at once an1isaioap in tais place. A neat in exp hsive little chapel, school building fa young minister and his wife, teacher land his wife, would make a beginning ffrom which great things would be sure tt result. Beginning from this place there ought to be church and a school placed one after another in the most promising places, until there shall be center o mental and spiritual -enlightment withir the reach of every person in this backwood but promising region.

Poughkeepsie Eagle: On Thursday Q feat was performed by the Baird Brothers, who are erecting the superstructure of the bridge, that attracted much attention, and excited some wonder among those who witnessed and heard of it. The steel tow CT on pier No. 6 having been all put up, it became necessary to remove the powerful hoisting engine used in its erection up to @ point on the false work above tue top of the tower, in order to handle the pieces of the cantilever arm, some two hundred feet away and nearly a hundred feet higher up, and this work the engine was made to do itself. When all was ready, and the tackle attached, the rope was passed around the winch, steam was turned on, and presently the ponderous machine was swinging in mid air and steadily pulling itself up to place, as 1t were climbing up by its own motion. The operation was entirely sue cessful.
